Event Invitations 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed preexisting weaknesses in many areas of life and the law. In April 2021, the ABA published a study entitled Practicing Law in the Pandemic and Moving Forward: Results and Best Practices From a Nationwide Survey of The Legal Profession. The results of this study confirmed what many women and people of color already knew – standard approaches to the workplace do not serve goals of diversity and inclusion, especially during times of great stress and financial uncertainty.

Since 1974, legal ethics instruction has been required in law schools by the major accrediting body for law schools.

This book chapter begins with an overview of the regulation of U.S. lawyers. The second section discusses the history of the legal ethics course requrirement. This section includes data from surveys published …

How And Why Do Lawyers Misbehave? Lawyers, Discipline, And Collegial Control, Lynn M. Mather

Contributions to Books

Published as Chapter 6 in The Paradox of Professionalism: Lawyers and the Possibility of Justice, Scott L. Cummings, ed.

A fundamental principle of professional labor is that the members of a specialized occupation, as professionals, enjoy autonomy.

Professions establish rules and systems of self-regulation to teach and enforce the expected standards of conduct on their members. One way, then, to assess legal professionalism is to ask how well lawyers regulate themselves. The extensive literature on lawyer regulation paints a negative …
